HSV (1 & 2) DNA PCR Qualitative Test - Book at an Affordable Cost

When detecting whether virus is infecting a person, a PCR blood test for herpes can discriminate between HSV-1 and HSV-2 infections. The most common technique for analysing cerebrospinal fluid samples is PCR testing.

Test Code: HSV1 and HSV2

Associations

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based herpes simplex virus (HSV) detection has emerged as the most accurate, quick, and sensitive method for identifying anogenital and central nervous system infections. According to studies, the sensitivity of PCR detection of HSV DNA ranges from 75% to 100% with 100% specificity.

HSV has been proven in asymptomatic individuals using PCR on 28% of test days compared to 8.1% by virus isolation. More notably, when HSV DNA was detected by PCR, asymptomatic shedding was detected on 60% of those days. The fact that asymptomatic shedding of HSV DNA might occur to a considerably greater extent than previously believed has a substantial bearing on patient counselling as a result of this particular identification by PCR.

Prerequisites for Specimens

HSV tumor Path. exhibition kit for MPLN

• 5 mm3 of fresh or frozen tissue, 2.0 mL of whole blood, EDTA.
• Swab any website MPLN viral transport medium or a pathogen collecting kit
• 2.0 mL (min. 1.0 mL) (min. 1.0 mL) Do not dilute CSF in a sterile container.
• 2.0 mL (min. 1.0 mL) (min. 1.0 mL) cervical cells, a SurePathTM Test Pack solution, or a ThinPrep® PAP solution
• 1.0 mL of unspun, sterile amniotic fluid

Variety Stability

• MPLN pathology collection kit, ambient temperature 18–25 C
• Whole blood, stable for 96 hours at 4°C
• Fresh tissue, stable for 96 hours at 4°C: -20°C frozen tissue, freeze right away
• Swab from any location, stable for 96 hours, 4 °C
• CSF, stable for 72 hours at 4°C; -20°C, 4 hours to freeze
• Cervical cells, stable for 21 days, 18 to 25 °C
• 1 mL amniotic fluid, stable for 48 hours at 18 to 25 °C

Keeping and Handling

• Ship ambient, MPLN pathology collection kit
• Ship whole blood in a chilled or frozen pack. Separate the chilled pack from the specimen
• Fresh tissue should be shipped in a cool or chilled pack with MPLN transport medium or an equivalent (such as RPMI, Hanks, or M4 media). Separate the chilled pack from the specimen
• Ship with dry ice, use MPLN transport medium or an equivalent (such as RPMI, Hanks, or M4 media), and ship frozen tissue.
• Swab any website Viral transport media or the MPLN pathogen collection kit are shipped in a chilly or frigid package. Distinguish from specimen
• CSF fresh, in a sterile container, without dilution, in a chilled pack; After collection, chilled CSF MUST be sent within 24 hours.
• Do not diluted, freeze in a sterile container, ship on dry ice, and keep CSF frozen for 4 hours.
• Cervical cells, a solution for ThinPrep PAP or SurePath Test Pack, and ambient shipping
• Sterile container, unspun, ambient ship, amniotic fluid

Rejection Reasons

Incorrect shipping media, improper anticoagulant surpassed the recommended temperatures; the specimen is older than.
